LOGB(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual LOGB(P) NAME
logb, logbf, logbl - radix-independent exponent SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double logb(double x); float logbf(float x); long double logbl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions shall compute the exponent of x, which is the integral part of log_r |x|, as a signed floating-point value, for non-zero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic, which is the value of FLT_RADIX defined in the <float.h> header. If x is subnormal it is treated as though it were normalized; thus for finite positive x: 1 <= x * FLT_RADIX**-logb(x) < FLT_RADIX An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the exponent of x. If x is +-0, a pole error shall occur and logb(), logbf(), and logbl() shall return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is +-Inf, +Inf shall be returned. ERRORS
These functions shall fail if: Pole Error The value of x is +-0. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
